Request Minh Anh Garment Company to soon build a wastewater treatment system

(Baonghean) - On February 21, 2012, in the Hotline Information section, Nghe An newspaper reflected the opinions of people living near Bac Vinh Industrial Park (IP) about Minh Anh - Kim Lien Garment Joint Stock Company having more than 1,000 employees but not having a wastewater and domestic waste treatment system, so all waste is discharged directly into the common drainage system of the IP, causing very serious environmental pollution.

After the inspection, Vinh City People's Committee responded as follows: Minh Anh - Kim Lien Garment Joint Stock Company produces garments in Bac Vinh Industrial Park on an area of ​​15,000 m2. Currently, the company is operating with 1,050 employees. Actual inspection at the company showed that this company has a contract to collect domestic solid waste with Nghe An Urban Environment One Member Co., Ltd. and a contract to collect industrial waste with Hanoi 735 Construction and Automobile Transport Joint Stock Company. Therefore, Minh Anh Company does not directly dump domestic solid waste into the drainage system of the Industrial Park. In addition, the company also arranges specialized environmental staff, environmental sanitation work in the company is well implemented, the campus is clean.

Domestic wastewater is collected and preliminarily treated by the company using a septic tank system before being discharged into the general drainage system of the industrial park. However, up to now, the company has not built a general wastewater treatment system as committed in the environmental protection project.

To resolve the above problem, Vinh City People's Committee has issued a document requesting Minh Anh - Kim Lien Garment Joint Stock Company to build a centralized wastewater treatment system as committed in the environmental protection project to treat wastewater, meeting current environmental standards before discharging.
